The Doctors Syndicate declared it will hold another general assembly for its members on the day of Friday at Qasr Al-Eini Hospital, to follow up on the progress of decisions ratified over a month ago.
Mona Mina, the syndicate’s secretary-general, stated that the assembly will discuss the security status at hospitals and the continuous assaults on doctors. The syndicate board will also propose a bill for penalising assaults on doctors, to be explained during the assembly before being sent to parliament, she added.
Assaults against doctors acquired attention following an attack on 2 doctors at Matariya Teaching Hospital in late January, which sparked anger amongst the doctor community, and pushes for the introduction of legislation to secure doctors from such assaults. Thousands of doctors collected at the syndicate headquarters 2 weeks later and voted on a set of demands with the hope of ensuring hospital security.
